Or even can a non injection one fit. Im being a tight arse and dont wanna spend 30 quid on what appears to look like a sender with a bend in it, as opposed to the carb one which is about a third of the price (and i have a brand new one in my tank already)
Cheers.

As far as I'm aware, the kink is just to avoid the intank pump. Don't hold me to that though.

If anybody is interested, they do fit, just copy the bends from an injection tank sender!
Saved myself a few quid for 5 minutes work *happy*

Take the old sender out and bend the new one to match. *wink*

You can see on minispares picture where they are if you haven't got the old one.

Yes, but the half should be exactly the same, which is the bit im interested in, and lets be honest, mini senders arent all that accurate anyway. But at least its much harder to run out of fuel that way as it'll show empty when theres a little left, but it'll stay showing full for a bit longer. But, for saving £15 im not fussed because i already have a brand new sender in my non injection tank :)

Just measured my tank sender, the injection one is 10mm longer according to the measurements, so really is no difference in it!
Hopefully this will save somebody some beer money.
